Biography

Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts; August 9, 1983 – April 25, 2025) was an American-born advocate for survivors of sex trafficking and one of the most prominent accusers in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.

Born in Sacramento, California, she alleged that as a teenager she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Mar-a-Lago and subsequently trafficked by Epstein, during which she claimed to have been sexually abused and forced to have encounters with powerful figures, including Prince Andrew (allegations that led to a settled civil lawsuit in 2022).

After marrying Robert Giuffre in 2002, she lived in Australia for many years, raising three children and later becoming a dual U.S.-Australian citizen. In 2015, she founded the nonprofit Victims Refuse Silence (later renamed Speak Out, Act, Reclaim or SOAR) to support trafficking survivors.

Giuffre pursued civil and public efforts for justice against Epstein and Maxwell, contributing significantly to public awareness and legal developments in the case.

She died by suicide at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, at age 41. Her posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice (co-authored with Amy Wallace), was published in October 2025 and became a bestseller, detailing her experiences and advocacy.

Early Life & Education

Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts) was born on August 9, 1983, in Sacramento, California. Of white American ethnicity, she was raised in a Christian household, though religion played little prominent role in her public accounts of her upbringing.

Her parents were Lynn Trude Cabell Roberts (mother) and Sky William Roberts (father), both of whom had been previously married. Giuffre grew up with an elder half-brother, Daniel Scott Wilson (from her mother’s prior marriage), a younger brother, Sky Rocket Roberts, and two stepbrothers.

When she was 4, the family moved to a 2-acre rural property in Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County, Florida, where they kept horses, chickens, and goats. Her father worked as a maintenance man and general handyman, supporting the family in a modest, countryside setting that initially allowed for simple joys like horseback riding.

Despite this seemingly stable start, Giuffre‘s early life was deeply troubled. From age seven, she endured repeated sexual molestation by a close family friend, an experience that she later described as shattering her sense of safety and innocence. In her memoir Nobody’s Girl (published posthumously in 2025), she also alleged abuse by her father beginning around the same period—claims her father has denied.

These traumas contributed to behavioral challenges, frequent running away, stays in foster homes and with relatives, and episodes of homelessness. By age 14, she had run away to Miami, where she became entangled in a sex-trafficking ring operated by Ron Eppinger (who was later arrested by the FBI).

Her formal education suffered amid the instability; she attended schools such as Royal Palm Beach High School and Forest Hill High School (briefly in 1998–1999), as well as a program for at-risk teens, but ultimately dropped out around age 16.

At that point, she lived in a trailer on her parents’ property and took a job at the Mar-a-Lago spa, setting the stage for her later encounters with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

Career

Virginia Giuffre is known for her journey from surviving sex trafficking to becoming a leading advocate for victims’ rights. Her early work life was limited and affected by trauma.

As a teenager, she worked as a spa locker room attendant and hoped to become a massage therapist at Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, during the summer of 2000. Her father, a maintenance worker at the resort, helped her get the job when she was about 16 or 17.

This job ended suddenly when Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her, offering what seemed to be a legitimate massage therapy opportunity with Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre later described this as the start of her involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking network.

Between 2000 and 2002, she was forced into sexual servitude for Epstein and others, with no chance for a normal career during that time. After escaping Epstein’s control at around 19, she married Robert Giuffre in 2002 and moved to Australia.

There, she focused on raising her three children and lived a mostly private life on a farm in Western Australia, with little public professional activity. In 2015, she began her advocacy work by founding Victims Refuse Silence (VRS), a nonprofit that supports survivors of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

The group aimed to help victims overcome shame and silence, educate the public, and push for changes to prevent trafficking. In November 2021, VRS was relaunched as Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), which continued to empower survivors, provide resources, raise awareness, and advocate for anti-trafficking measures.

Giuffre became a well-known figure in the Jeffrey Epstein case, acting as a key accuser and cooperating witness. She gave testimony in depositions, civil lawsuits (including a 2022 settlement with Prince Andrew), and interviews with major media in the U.S. and U.K. Her efforts helped the prosecutions of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and increased public awareness of sex trafficking involving powerful people.

As part of her 2022 settlement with Prince Andrew, a significant donation was made to SOAR. Later, Giuffre wrote a memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, with journalist Amy Wallace. Published after her death in October 2025 by Alfred A. Knopf, the book became a bestseller and shared her story of abuse, escape, advocacy, and the fight for justice. It also continued her work to support other survivors and hold abusers accountable.

Personal Life

Virginia Louise Giuffre (née Roberts) was born on August 9, 1983, making her 41 years old at the time of her death by suicide on April 25, 2025.

She was married once, to Robert Giuffre, an Australian plumber whom she met in Thailand shortly after escaping Jeffrey Epstein‘s control around age 19. The couple wed in 2002 and lived together in Australia for over two decades, initially in Glenning Valley, New South Wales, before relocating to a rural property in Neergabby, Western Australia.

Giuffre often credited her husband with “rescuing” her and providing stability after her traumatic experiences. However, reports indicate the marriage had become strained in later years, with the couple separating or becoming estranged prior to her death.

They remained legally married at the time of her passing, as no divorce was finalized, leading to posthumous legal disputes involving her estate. Giuffre and Robert had three children together: two sons, Christian Giuffre (born circa 2006) and Noah Giuffre (born circa 2007), and a younger daughter, Emily Giuffre.

The family lived a relatively private life on their Australian farm, where Giuffre focused on raising her children during much of the 2000s and 2010s. Following her death, custody arrangements and estate matters became points of contention, with reports of prior family conflicts, including a restraining order and custody issues involving her husband.

No precise public record exists for Giuffre‘s height, though analyses of well-known photographs (particularly the 2001 image with Prince Andrew) estimate her at approximately 5 feet 8 inches (173–176 cm), consistent with her appearing close in height to the 6-foot-tall prince when accounting for posture and footwear.

As a teenager, she had a brief boyfriend, Anthony Figueroa, who later spoke publicly about her recruitment into Epstein‘s network. After fleeing Epstein, she met and quickly married Robert Giuffre, with no known romantic relationships before or after the marriage.

Her experiences during the Epstein period involved coerced encounters with various high-profile individuals (as alleged in her legal actions and memoir), but these were not consensual dating relationships. Giuffre‘s personal life post-marriage appeared focused on family and advocacy, with no public reports of other partners.

Net Worth

Virginia Giuffre‘s net worth at the time of her death in April 2025 was estimated to be between $8 million and $10 million USD.

This wealth largely came from civil settlements connected to her allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, as well as income from media interviews, her work with the nonprofit SOAR (Speak Out, Act, Reclaim), and royalties from her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, which became a bestseller after its October 2025 release.

The most significant contribution was her 2022 out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew, widely reported to fall in the $12–16 million range, with part of the funds directed to her advocacy organization and the remainder supporting her personally.

Earlier Epstein-related settlements, including one from 2009 valued at roughly $500,000 plus other benefits, also played a role. Additional earnings came from book advances, speaking fees, and modest investments. Following her passing, estate proceedings in Western Australia revealed complexities, with some assets appearing lower on paper due to charitable giving, legal costs, family trusts, and property ownership, including her rural farm in Neergabby.

Ongoing disputes among heirs have complicated the final distribution, but the overall figure reflected the financial security she built through her long pursuit of justice. Much of her money went toward supporting survivors rather than personal extravagance, and she continued to live a relatively modest life on her Australian property with her family throughout her later years.
